This isn’t your run-of-the mill 5k…
This one’s organized by students at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park (P-CEP) for the purpose of providing financial and community support for Plymouth-Canton families in medical crisis. The student-led event was created in 2011 and, to date, 26 families have been helped and nine families are being helped in 2018.
Last year, over 3,000 community members attended to show their support! All funds are used to offset costs of funerals, hospital bills, insurance deductibles, treatment and travel costs, out of pocket costs, prescription costs, lost wages, handicapped-accessible equipment and other items. This year, we’re hoping to raise the funds to help NINE awesome families from our community, including P-CCS staff, students, and parents; click here to watch a video about their stories… have tissues ready.
The eighth annual SJ5k, also known as the Super Jess 5 kilometer run/walk, will be on Sunday, May 6th at 8:00am at Plymouth-Canton Educational Park.. and while some may like to participate in the actual race, there’s other ways to show your support! That’s where AFS is coming in… we’re hosting 4 charity classes in April to raise money for the families of the SJ5K!
